Thank you so much for the feedback, Shanimal. Thank you for clarifying everything. I only had a slim idea about the differences between a DNP vs DNAP.

I want to make sure that what I am saying is correct. I know that becoming a CRNA requires either a DNAP degree or a DNP with specialization with Anesthesiology degree. The DNAP degree is sometimes not seen as a terminal degree or not the best if you ever decide to teach. Also, if you decide that this specialty is not for you after receiving a DNAP degree you would have to do a new four year DNP degree towards a new specialty to change your specialty. There is no one year DNP certificate towards a new specialty for people with a DNAP degree, correct? A DNP with a specialization in Anesthesia degree is seen as a terminal degree and best if you ever decide to teach. Also, if you have a DNP with a specialization in Anesthesia degree and later find out that this specialty is not for you. You can do a one year DNP certificate towards a new specialty to change your specialty, correct? Thank you for any feedback.

Hi 06crna: Thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions. Mine is quite long, but I would be grateful if you would take the time to read it.

Thank you. I believe that this will be the first cohort at Tavares. Good luck to you too!

I got into the Tavares Cohort which starts in December!! I can't wait for the journey to start. Congratulations Kel29 and everyone else that got in!! For those of you that did not get into a cohort keep on trying. You can do this whether it is through WGU's program or another program you can do it.

I don't know, but I wish you the best of luck. Here's to one day helping others!!

Are there only 40 applicants? Or how do they get down to 40? I know they are making a decision this week. Also, it's awesome that Tavares is having a cohort in December. So more chances the better.

I am applying too. Good luck future nurses. I hope to work with you all and make a difference in the lives of others.

Hello: I have a few questions for those who are already in the BSN Prelicensure program at WGU. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.: 1) Do you work with your advisor to complete your clinical schedule so that it works for your work schedule and their time available? 2) I see from the sample schedule that once clinicals start they go two to three weeks in a row. From what time do you start and end each day usually? 3) Do they work with your work schedule since most of the people in the program are working adults? Other than the last semester which seems to be the most intense and working at this time would be difficult. Also, I am applying to the Florida BSN Prelicensure program in November. I am a CNA and I have completed the prerequisites with all As. My overall GPA is good too (between 3.7 and 4.0). What TEAS score should I aim for? Also, is there anything else that I can do to increase my chances of acceptance? Thank you very much, Carterjcr

Yes, I do understand that WGU has a pass/fail course grading system which equates to a 3.0. Right now, WGU's program structure seems to be the best fit in terms of convenience and other factors in my life. Yes, I have read from a previous post that Barry University really wants that 150 on each section.

Hi Everyone: My goal is to hopefully get into WGU's BSN Prelicensure Program this November in Daytona Beach, FL. In the meantime, I have been trying to put a list of things together that would be helpful for when I hopefully apply to Barry University's CRNA Program/Many Other Programs in the future. If anyone has any input on the list I made I would really appreciate it. Also, my undergraduate GPA is 3.98 (I in no intention mean to brag, seriously) and I was wondering if CRNA schools prefer any specific classes that they would like to see on the transcripts of applicants. I don't know for sure if these classes would be helpful with admissions, but these are the courses that I thought of: Biology 2, Ethics, Physics 1, Physics 2, Nutrition, and Pathophysiology. I'm really trying to find out if taking any extra classes will help with admissions or if I should really focus more on "My CRNA List". Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post and good luck in your endeavors. Also, if anyone believes that this post should be in a different group I would really appreciate any help with moving it to the correct one. My CRNA List: GRE needs to be at least 150 on each section and 3.5-4.0 AWS within 5 years CCRN, CMC, and CSC exams Shadow multiple CRNAs in multiple settings for around 40 hours or more TNCC course Join AACN and ENA ACLS, BLS, PALS from AHA One year SICU Thank you, Carterjcr, CNA

Sorry, I worded my post incorrectly. The requirement for a graduate statistics class is from one college while the requirement for a biostatistics class is from another college. I was saying a graduate Biostatistics class in hopes of not having to take both separately.

Hi everyone: I am hopefully going to be starting my BSN in the fall. I, of course, need to shadow a CRNA as well as other DNP specialties so that I can find out which specialty I would like to practice for the rest of my career. I know that I should not box myself in and only say that I want to be a CRNA since it is a very competitive program to get into. Also, so I don't put too much hope into it because it is difficult to get into. However, out of curiosity when I did look up prerequisites for CRNA programs I saw ones that required a graduate statistics course and ones that required a biostatistics course. Would taking a graduate biostatistics course fulfill both a graduate statistics course as well as a biostatistics course? I know it doesn't sound like a very intelligent question as the answer is pretty obvious to others. Thank you for taking the time to read my message and have a great day. Thank you, Carterjcr

Hi ICUman, RN: Thank you very much for clarifying that. I think Shanimal, BSN, RN or MHCRNA would be the best at answering your question.

Hi Shanimal, BSN, RN: Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post and for providing quality advice and information.
